Triangles, a la Shmoop. Goldilocks has had it up to here with bears.

Understandably so. She is also through with porridge...
- 00:12
... ever since she tried the delicious, crispy, cheesy crunch of a Shmorito Nacho Cheese flavored

chip.

Well she's on a Corn Chip bender now.

Seriously, she needs help. She can't stop herself from raiding the homes
- 00:27
of poor, innocent families in search of their cheesy chips.
- 00:31
One day she picked the wrong cottage... She tore into one of the bags... but was disappointed
- 00:36
with the first Shmorito she grabbed.
- 00:39
Goldi is very picky about her Shmorito shapes, and this one was clearly an obtuse triangle...
- 00:44
...which had one angle that was greater than 90 degrees.
- 00:46
She tried talking some sense into it, but it didn't seem to understand.
- 00:48
The next Shmorito had the opposite problem -- all of its angles were less than 90 degrees.
- 00:52
It's a shame, because the Dorito was pretty acute, but Goldi was compelled to keep looking.
- 00:58
Many of the Shmoritos in the bag were equilateral triangles.
- 01:01
All of their sides were congruent, but it still wasn't doing it for Goldi.
- 01:06
"Too perfect," she thought. She also came across a Shmorito that was Isosceles,
- 01:14
with two equal sides.
- 01:15
"Not perfect enough," Goldi thought. There was a scalene Shmorito...
- 01:21
...with three sides of completely different lengths.
- 01:23
"Must have been an accident at the Shmorito factory," Goldi thought.
- 01:31
Just when she was about to give up...
- 01:32
...Goldi finally happened upon a Shmorito with a right angle.
- 01:36
"A right triangle!" Goldi shouted excitedly. "Ah... now this one is juuuuust right."
- 01:46
Unfortunately, Goldi's pickiness cost her in the end.
- 01:50
In all the excitement, she hadn't heard the deer come home.
- 01:52
These deer loved their Shmoritos as well.
- 01:55
Goldi was about to wish she had tangled with a family of bears.
